Frkidman The younger boys In the night school, who fell Just short of the vears when they might have taken life seriously, paid no attention whatsoever to him and the older men, who were entirely absorbed In themselves and their work, were scarcely aware of his existence. But to all this neglect on the part of his schoolfellows WUhelm Gartenbaum paid little attention; in fact, he was scarcely aware of it; for he was so taken up with his studies and his de sire to learn that he gave neither thought nor heed to aught else. Wilhelm Gartenbaum was a very old man a very old man by compar ison at any rate, for he was easily the oldest man in the school and per hnps the oldest man who attended any of the various night schools. He took his honors quite philosophical ly and without conceit, as he took all else that befell him, saying merely that some one had to be the oldest and the honor happened to have come to him. All but fourteen of his seventy five years had been given up to hard, unremitting toil toil to support his parents; toll to support his own chil dren; toll from the day he had land ed In America until old ago made It Impossible for him to toil any longer. There had always flamed In his heart the hope that Borne day he might find time to study, to learn and edu cate himself. His heart was wither ing and drying now, but the flame burned there still with all the vigor and fervor borrowed from youth, even though its light fell on a hope turned to ashes. Somehow to-night his school tasks did not go as well as usual and the oldster felt disheartened and dis couraged. His aged mind, forced to fit Into the lessons more proper to youth, felt quite as uncomfortable as the aged body that he was forcing to fit into the small desk that a child had occupied during the day. The uselessness of effort, especially the uselessness of effort at his age, de pressed him, as it will depress all of us at times, even the youngest, the most favored and the most gifted. Still, Wilhelm Gartenbaum tugged at his long white beard determined ly, shook his head resolutely, set all his doubts and perplexities to one side and struggled with the difficult problem in fractions again. Slowly, carefully, cautiously the old man worked his way along, much as a stranger feels his way from place to place In a house that is dark. He was quite sure now so cer tain was he of each preceding step that he had solved the problem correctly. The tense expression that had puckered up his careworn face left it and gave way to a smile of satisfaction. His heart beat quicker, happier, and the phrase, "It is never too late to learn," took on a new and bigger meaning to his more optimistic frame of mind. But all his Joy gave way to sorrow, and a sort of despair seized him when he attempted to prove his answer the teacher had taught him the method the night Iip fore and found it altogether wrong. For a while Wilhelm Gartenbaum sat rigid, his chin on his hand; one might have thought him a bust carved out of stone, so silent did he sit; then his elbow moved, much as a piece of marble might drop, and accidentally he pushed his arithmetic off the desk. He stooped to pick It up, gathering as he did so a few loose pages of foolscap that had been folded between the pages of the hook and dropped out of it. For it was used by the pupil, whoever he was, that occupied the desk during the day, and, therefore, that it be hooved its occupant by night to be careful of both book and contents. He was putting the sheets of paper back whence they came and he was absently staring at the numbers written on one of them when gradu ally they made an active claim on his attention. Then Wilhelm Gartenbaum no ticed with a shock of surprise that here, correctly solved and proved, was the problem that he had tried and failed to work out. And he was following the successful arithmeti cian's figures In a breathless sort of excitement when his eye fell on the name, "Fritz Gartenbaum," written in the upper left-hand corner of the sheet of foolscap. 'For a while old man Gartenbaum lapsed into his statuesque repose, then his face wrinkled and puckered and tear after tear coursed stealthily along his cheek and down his white' beard. Fritz Gartenbaum was Wilhelm Gartenbaum's grandson. The Pangs of Hunger. Hunger is one of the trials that explorers of the polar regions have to encounter very often. Captain Scott In his recent volume has this description of an unpleasant expert ence In the farthest south: "My com panions get very bad food dreams; in fact, these have become the reguJ lar breakfast conversation. , It ap pears to be a sort of nightmare; thy are either sitting at a well-spread table, with their arms tied, or they grasp at. a. dish and itllps out of their hands, or they are in the act of lifting a dainty morsel to the mouth when they fall over a precipice." His Case. "When you were married did your wife promise to obey?" "Well, I should say not," respond ed the careworn citizen. "I can't liven get my children to do that." Croup Curril and a Chilli's I.

FAMOUS LONDON STREET. It Was Christened by Sir Georgs Downing One of Cromwell's Chaplains. Downing street, which it Is proposed to take legislative steps to "stop up and discontinue as a thoroughfare," had a fairly long and interesting hla tory before Its official record com mences. It owes Its name and origin to Sir George Downing, a political Vicar of Bray, who was one of Cromwell' favorite chaplains, and later so In gratiated himself with Charles II. that the King heaped substantial fav ors on him, including the gift of -i valuable tract of land on which Down ing street arose. Downing built "four plain, square brick mansions" on it with "hack fronts" to St. James's) Park, "fit for persons of honour and quality, each having a pleasant pros pect, with a terras walk." In tno eighteenth century the street had Regenerate J Into shabblness; most of tl.o dingy buildings were used as loiling houses, and at the King street en'i was a rather low chop house, Th3 Cat and ltagpipes, patronized by Iios well, while In one of the houses Smoll ett Kiiiisgled to earn a living as a surgeon. It was only In 1735. when Sir Robert Walpole moved from St. James's Square to the famous No. 10, that Downing street first assumed the oflicini character which has made it tho "nu Ft famous street In the world."

"I have three or four detectives among my patrons, and in their busi ness suits I always put hainlcuii pockets. These pockets are In tlvi sleeves. Their advantage Is that the handcuffs can be drawn forth wlta out the prisoner's seeing the action. When a rambunctious prisoner sees a detective's hand go toward an ord inary pocket he knows what is com ing and prepares accordingly; but with my special pocket, the handcuff Is cn him before he knows when he Is at."

A COINCIDENCE Mr. Denholme had a strong aver sion to evening parties; he continu ally tried to impress upon his wife that when he returned home after a hard day's work from his down town office he fully deserved a quiet even ing. "My greatest pleasure," he de clared, "is to sit down to a snug lit tle tete-a-tete evening with my wife, and watch her pretty face while ahe tells me all she has been doing dur ing the day." Mr. Denholme had the good for tune to marry a chnrmlng girl flftr'.'n years younger than hlmself.'and t"'.3 only fault his family found with Mrs. Denholme were her excessive good looks and love for smart clothes. One night they had been to a crush at Mrs. Pawnrood's In order to listen to an acrobatic German pianist unci rub shoulders with many smart people, and Denholme was waiting latently Tor his wife in the supper roo-n, beguiling the time with cold qiu-.:i and champagne, when a young man, who stood next to him at the cro.vilotl supper table, remarked that thcrn were "a lot of people present." "There are," replied Denholme; "litre j on been hero Ion.;?" "Oh, no, this sort of thing Isn't r.nicli In my line; one never can talk to the people one wants to.' "I quite agree with you, said Denholme, "however, my wife likes this sort of thing, and it's all very well for tho women." , "The fact of the matter Is," con tinued the young man, "I've come here to find a little woman I met up tho rivertthe other day said she'd be here to-night; a rare little sports woman, such a good figure. I took her out In a row boat." "Have you looked upstairs?" In quired Mr. Denholme. "Not me," was the reply. "I should be pounced on and made to tiilte some elderly female Into sup per. I told her I'd wait in the sup per room for her. I didn't catch the name when they Introduced us." "It sounds quite romantic," said Denholme, feeling amused by the yo.ing man's confidence. "Rather! and I believe she s a widow, and there's nothing like a jo ;n.t widow. I Intend to take her to the Caiieton or somewhere for su' per; sue ougnt to iook gpienuiu to-night." "What makes you think she's a widow?" queried Denholme. '"Oil, I don't know, only she was certainly a Mrs. something, and she never mentioned a husband, and pro posed all sorts of plans, such as a ba'.l, or another day on the river. She's full of Ideas and thoroughly enjoys life, just what a woman ought to be, and understands man, none of that stand-off rot about her; there's only a month before I have to join my haiiallon at Gib., and I don't moan to li t the grass grow under my feet." , "S'.ie sounds very attractive," said Denholme. "But she may be divorced," con tinued Denholme, "or perhaps she divorced her husband, one never can tell." "She may have married some aw ful brute," was the reply, "and It served him jolly well right if she di vorced him, but I'm quite certain no one divorced her, it's impossible." "My dear sir," replied Denholme, "I am a lawyer. I see actualites." "No wonder," said the young man; "I expect you've come across hoars of wrong 'tins; lawyers always see the worst of women, and men, too, coming to that, but I'll bet you you any money you like that the lady I met the other day is a real good sort, and by Jove! there she is coin ing Into the room now; she looks simply great, and, I say, what a dress! over there in pink." Denholme followed the young man's gaze and saw it was concen trated on his wife. She was dressed In one of the latest creation of a Paris dressmaker; her long opera cloak was thrown over her shoul ders, she seemed the Incarnation of perfectly equipped modern feminin ity. She reveled in her personal a: penrnnre, and as she entered the sup per room many eyes turned in her direction. "Simply great!" muttered the young man. "She doesn't see me yet. Good! she's coming over our way." Then he stepped forward and bowed to the beautiful Mrs. Denholme. She drew back and looked beyond hint toward her husband. "You are mistaking me for some one else," she said, with a queer lit tle smile; then, to her husband, "Tom, I've been looking for you everywhere. I'm so tired; let's go home." The young man's Jaw dropped, and before Mr. Denholme had time to introduce him formally, he dlaap peared. "I wonder who that pushing young man wns, who bowed to me in the supper room?" said Mrs. Denholme, on their way home. "I wonder!" replied her husband. When lee Cr.tches Fire.
